On Saturday, July 19 at 1:30 p.m., I will give a talk titled “Quantitative Research and Sexual/Gender Minorities: Findings from the Experience of Participating in the Collaborative Research, ‘LGBT Workplace Environment Survey'” at Naha Women’s Center, Okinawa, Japan!

This talk will be delivered as a program within an event called “The 1st LGBT Youth Meeting” (hosted by Over The Rainbow, cosponsored by Rainbow Alliance Okinawa). I will speak about the significance of conducting quantitative research on sexual/gender minorities as well as various problems arising from the research, based on my experience of participating in the collaborative research, “Survey on LGBT Issues in the Workplace Environment 2014” conducted by Nijiiro Diversity between February and March 2014. Also, I will share the summary of the results of the survey themselves.
